Great day for a festival and some friendly rugby

A visit to beautiful Kirkby Lonsdale is one never to be passed up and the opportunity to play a bit of rugby with a range of teams is an added bonus. As a last minute entry, KL made the team feel very welcome, and the scene was set for games against Kirkby Lonsdale, Garstang, Vale of Lune, and Fylde. The day was glorious and the games evenly matched with some great performances from some of our newer players alongside our more established team - you honestly couldn't tell which was which at times!!

Play wise there was some excellent team moments as well as some areas for improvement. Not bad for the first team game on away soil and I know Rachel was really pleased with the overall team performance as was I. Great driving forward and running on to the ball. Sometimes a bit too close together at the start of play and the team was found adrift at times with strong runners on the opposing team storming their way through the gaps. Not to be outdone though there were some great moments from Coen and Jayden despite receiving a few knocks - which they brushed off and got stuck back in! Good running from Jacob, Tyler, Ben and Iestyn and some lovely tackling moves along the way. Jake, William and Alexander had some fantastic games with some superb rugby and as our newest players it was great to see them blend in and create some excellent opportunites.

All in all a fantastic first festival to be proud of, here's to a few more this season! Well done team.
